# std.ascii

Functions which operate on ASCII characters.
All of the functions in std.ascii accept Unicode characters but effectively ignore them if they're not ASCII. All isX functions return false for non-ASCII characters, and all toX functions do nothing to non-ASCII characters.

For functions which operate on Unicode characters, see std.uni.

  Returns:
  Whether c is a control character.
  Examples:

      assert( isControl('\0'));

pure nothrow @nogc @safe bool isASCII(dchar c);

auto toLower(C)(C c) if (is(C : dchar));
  Converts an ASCII letter to lowercase.
  Parameters:

  C c | A character of any type that implicitly converts to dchar. In the case where it's a built-in type, or an enum of a built-in type, Unqual!(OriginalType!C) is returned, whereas if it's a user-defined type, dchar is returned.

  Returns:
  The corresponding lowercase letter, if c is an uppercase ASCII character, otherwise c itself.
  Examples:

      assert(toLower('a') == 'a');
      assert(toLower('A') == 'a');
      assert(toLower('#') == '#');

      // N.B.: Non-ASCII Unicode uppercase letters are not converted.
      assert(toLower('Á') == 'Á');

auto toUpper(C)(C c) if (is(C : dchar));
  Converts an ASCII letter to uppercase.
  Parameters:

  C c | Any type which implicitly converts to dchar. In the case where it's a built-in type, or an enum of a built-in type, Unqual!(OriginalType!C) is returned, whereas if it's a user-defined type, dchar is returned.

  Returns:
  The corresponding uppercase letter, if c is a lowercase ASCII character, otherwise c itself.
  Examples:

      assert(toUpper('a') == 'A');
      assert(toUpper('A') == 'A');
      assert(toUpper('#') == '#');

      // N.B.: Non-ASCII Unicode lowercase letters are not converted.
      assert(toUpper('á') == 'á');
